I guess it's the sort of thing that's easy to have constrasting sort of feelings over.

[ Even as Ange speaks, though, she's definitely witnessing that movement of Blake's ears. So they actually even move.. Ange was already assuming they were real, but the movement right now only confirms it.

(It must be hard, she thinks, to have something so expressive right there in full view. Even if you'd be able to control your facial expression, having to control your ears at the same time can only be harder..) ]

Sure, it's better if people aren't here. But at the same time it's hard to be apart from the people you care for. [ Even if Ange doesn't feel that as much anymore as she used to, she does remember longing to see certain people again.

So would she blame Blake if she'd wish for their other friends to be here too? Not really. ]

No need to worry about me though. I've practically had Ruby harassing me from day one. [ Quite literally day one, even.

And despite the usage of the word 'harassing' there, it sounds like it's somehow used fondly. ]

It's been hard for me to ever truly be here alone because of it.
